Archade's Skill Feedback - Survival (and Track)

[Archade]

Hey guys,

I think folding Track abilities into Survival is great, but instead of invalidating the Track feat, why not include it as a feat that gives a +5 to all tracking checks? That way, it still exists, but is no longer necessary.

Mmm... make it a +3 and I'm in.

You can get a +3 in every use of Survival with Skill Focus (Survival). For just tracking, it should be a +5 (or maybe even more).

I am in agreement here also as the Ranger should be better at tracking then a scout or a barbarian. Otherwise you totally negate one of its class abilities as few others in the past where willing to spend a feat on Tracking.

My first reaction was to say Tracking gives +10, but that is too much. I think +5 is a good bonus and would only apply to Survival for tracking uses only.

Seconded on the +5. Removal of the Track Feat in its entirety nullifies backwards compatibility for a lot of characters (having played non-Rangers with the Track Feat, I want that backwards compatibility).
